It’s roughly a quarter of the way through the NFL season and Buffalo and Kansas City look like two very different teams.
The Bills are one of, if not the most complete team in football. Behind Sean McDermott and Co., they rank in the top-five in total offense and rank first in defense, having pitched two shutouts and yielding just 11 points per game. They also have seven interceptions, four forced fumbles and 12 sacks through five games, proving their defensive prowess.

Their offensive unit has been equally as good, scoring the second-most points through four week as quarterback Josh Allen is the team’s third-leaeding rusher. Allen has also spread the ball around, with five different players in doubl digits for targets up to now.
Kansas City, meanwhile, has been fine offensively. Like Buffalo, the Chiefs have scored 134 points through four games, but they sit at 2-2 and in last place. Buffalo is 3-1 and atop the AFC East.

The Chiefs’ offense has flowed through Patrick Mahomes, who’s first in passing touchdowns and fifth in yards. But Mahomes has really only targeted Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, with no clear No. 2 or 3 receiver standing out. That’s why they added veteran former All-Pro Josh Gordon to their roster.
Defensively however, the Chiefs have been one of the worst teams, giving up the second most points through four weeks and allowing roughly 438 yards per game.
This is a game with potentially big playoff implications down the line for two teams who were potential Super Bowl favorites. There’s a lot of season left, and this game might be a shootout, but it’s one that seems like a must-win for both teams.
